Dark Sunday (French: Sombre dimanche) is a 1948 French drama film directed by Jacqueline Audry and starring Michèle Alfa, Paul Bernard and Marcelle Derrien.[1] The film takes its name from the French title of the song "Gloomy Sunday".
The film's sets were designed by the art director Raymond Druart.
In pre-war France, a Hungarian immigrant musician is left so saddened when he is rejected by the woman he loves that he writes an incredibly gloomy piece of music. A music publisher is impressed with it and decides to promote using a marketing gimmick. He will get a woman to pretend to attempt suicide because she is so moved by the song.
